Trek Checkmate SLR in Our 2025 ravel Race Bike Comparison Test – A Clever Move or Checkmate by Its Own Hand?
Ergonomic cockpit
Excellent comfort thanks to Trek’s IsoSpeed technology
Lively, efficient acceleration
Rather narrow tires with poor grip and damping qualities
Jun 2025 · Pete Muir
When the gravel scene emerged a few years ago, it was with an American hipster vibe that was all about
Fast
Low weight
Aero
Plenty of tyre clearance
More aggressive than the Domane
All specs pricey
No in-frame storage for the non-racer
Better on non-technical off-road

Treks Checkmate SLR 9 is a rocketship gravel machine. Boasting gravel aerodynamic gains, locked and loaded fit, and top-of-the-line kit.
Aug 2024 · Ashley Quinlan
So far, the Checkmate SLR ticks most of the right boxes
Quick feeling
Predictable and confidence inspiring handling
Excellent specification
Customisable to a degree
Perhaps overly stiff cockpit
Tops profile may polarise opinion
No option of a shimano or campagnolo build
